Château Lafon-Rochet is located in the Saint-Estèphe appellation within the Bordeaux wine region of France. Saint-Estèphe is situated in the northern part of the Médoc peninsula, on the Left Bank of the Gironde River. The estate has a long history dating back to the 17th century. It was originally part of a larger estate called Château de La Rochette, which was divided into smaller properties over time. Château Lafon-Rochet has undergone significant improvements and modernization under the ownership of the Tesseron family, who acquired the estate in 1959. Since then, the Tesseron family has invested in vineyard management, cellar upgrades, and other improvements to enhance the quality of the wines. The Tesseron family sold Château Lafon-Rochet to French-Swiss real-estate investor Jacky Lorenzetti in 2021.
